I lost my parrot of 30 years this past summer. It was devistating & I took it very hard. I planned to wait a year or so before looking into getting another butd, but I found myself checking the paper & Craigslist. I answered an ad, made an appointment to meet Emily and lo & behold, she picked me (much to my pleasure). I took her home a week later & we've been having a great time getting to know each other ever since..

Hi from Fortune ,St. Patrick D'bird and LonnieHello Emily, Fortune here, You are so sweet and thoughtful. I caused some trouble the other day. I harmed the vaccumn, the TV remote and Moms new sofa(just a little bit) It was a fun time until she came home and found me. She took it better than I expected though. I am better, now. Now...I KNOW better. Mommy will not give me a chance to escape. She was just so upset over Haji getting hurt, that she forget my lock. I could really pass for Houdini if I could figure out the lock. Huuuummmmmm I have been very sweet to her. She is happy with my new pics. she made me pose and pose. Well, I owed it to her. Here is a vote for you and yours. Remember, everybirdie, "Be good to the mommy, cause when she ain't happy.....no one is happy." Can you believe she loves that loud old vaccumn cleaner? Huh I never know what will make her happy next... beakie kisses and wing huggies. Fortune

Hi Emily!Happy New Year! I just flew by to say welcome to the Bird Channel! I love your pic! My name is Jingle and I'm new kind a new here. I'm a baby lovebird.

It snowed here off and on for two days! Here's a vote for you! I hope we can come by for a visit! Feathery baby birdie kisses, Jingle

Hi from Fortune ,St. Patrick D'bird and LonnieIt is good to hear from you. Hope you are enjoying 2008. We have had fun today. Mommy let me to get aquainted with the puppies. I love it. When they would walk up to me on the floor, I would raise my umbrella and flap my wings at them and say Wheeeeeee. Bo and Luke would run away and come back again to see if I would do it again. Mom only let me twice. She was afraid I would quit playing and go on the chase. No fun........hehe I wouldn't hurt them. Tennessee won their game and my skin sis called..She is happy. Well, gotta go check on my other friends. Cheech to you later. xoxoxo Fortune

story about santa birdEver wonder how mysterious red feathers appear in your home on Christmas, or how empty nut shells appear on your floor. Or better yet, how did they get out of their cage on Christmas? Let me tell you: This is the story of a beautiful Scarlet Macaw that lived In the rain forest of Peru a long time ago. Now this beautiful bird was Named Reds. He was different from the other macaws, He always looked after The other birds, if they were weak or small or sick. He took care of everyone else but himself. Every year on Christmas Eve, Santa visited the rain forest And asked each bird what they needed or wanted; Reds made sure the Others got First pick. Santa would then ask Reds what he wanted, but he always Asked for food for the others or medicine for the sick ones. Every year It Was the same scene; he never asked for anything for himself. He was Happy to help the Others and it made him proud to see them all eating treats and playing And singing On Christmas Day. Many years passed by and Reds was getting older. He was starting to Have a touch of Arthritis in his wings. It was harder for him to fly Any distance and his eyesight was not what it used to be, but still Nothing changed, he was just a little slower and more tired, his Feathers not quite as bright, but he continued to help the others. Then one year on Christmas Eve, Santa stopped as usual and once again, He asked Reds What he wanted for Christmas. With great difficulty and pain, he Climbed up on Santa's knee and said, "Can you make me young again?" "You see, I am in pain now and can't get around as easy to check on Everyone." Santa thought about this and turned to Reds, and said, "You know my Friend; This job is getting to be too much for me also, so I was thinking of Taking On an Assistant to deliver to my feathered friends." "Who better than You?" "It doesn't pay a lot but the rewards are the best". "The only Thing is You must leave the forest". "Leave the forest? It is the only place I know. Who will take care of The others if I go with you?" Santa said "Look around, they have each other to depend on. It is time Someone did something for you". Reds talked to the others and they Agreed it was time for him to go, so he climbed on Santa's shoulder and Off they flew that night. Now Reds will never grow any older or have any pain and every year on Christmas Eve, make sure you leave some walnuts out, because, if you Hear tiny claws on your roof, you know it is Santa Bird, come to visit Your feathered friends.beaky kisses and a vote Boba
